If I was tall enough    To reach up to the gates of the afterlife I'd hold them open with one hand    And touch your soul with the other. And if I believed    In a heaven where angels get sent when they die Your trail would lead straight there    With tracks none could cover. But I feel weak, and I feel heavy, I feel like I'm tied down to Earth already I am faithless, and I've found, it's hard to reach Heaven with your feet tied to the ground. Maybe, I'm crazy But I want to believe that your soul could be free Maybe, you'll come back and save me 'Cause I try and I try but I can't learn to fly And I know if you tried my feet would co

it's difficult fighting this strapped in roller coaster ride trying to make the person in the mirror match the image inside i'm so terrified of being forgotten i need to be held down or maybe put down i get so scared the world's stopped turning around it's true i'm a weakness personified i find all these faults after a life time, it seems a lifetime, or what to do's and what you dont's i'm breathing for air underwater learning how to swim i never dove off of the sidelines i let the water slowly sink in i hold my breath in high places and under the light of the moon i want my eyes open all night but sleep always comes too soon i don'

Hey rolemodel and hey trailblazer You've come so far and been so amazing Anywhere I go I know you've been there first. Hey dark horse you were the white sheep, Never dove too fast when the water's deep Anywhere I go I know your memory's immersed. Hey high school king and hey promqueen You know you light up the world and your the scene, Anywhere I go I know you make the rules. Hey not-quite-there and hey misfit, You know it's easier if you're not always it, Anywhere I know I know you'll make it in your time, too. But oh, where did you go? I was missing you, so I built you up more. And, rolemodel, when you return Will you be the

Sometimes I dream my name, it burns in lights. Because I am still young, my perspective isn't right. Meanwhile I stomp these streets in my angel shoes; They'll never guess it was me, I left all my blame to you. If you drive me crazy, I will drive all day, Get back to your side of the world, just too late to say: I am losing my wings, I am losing my wings. This time I'll take all my own fall For all of my failings. I am losing my colour, I am turning black and white. Do you know, I think I'll glow if you Turn out the lights. We should try it, I think. 'Cause I'm losing my wings. I'm spending more energy than I have a claim to h

I can remember the very first time You told me not every spoken word was truth. I can remember, you held me Not unkindly as all the walls fell through. You were not gentle (not gentle) You did not mention (you did not mention) You played from cues With no intentions. I feel I have been led on, I feel I have been set up. I feel I have been led on, I feel I have been set up, set up. How did the army degenerate Into a screen-written musical that people can swallow. Down on your luck? Get on your hands and knees And search the dust on the floor for talent tomorrow. I don't believe (don't believe) You cannot lead (you cannot lead)

You can't put love back in its box You can't return what you've now got Take it or leave it. Take it or leave it. You can't keep love straight in its place Sooner or later this train will derail Take it or leave it. Take it or leave it. And I won't be discouraged When all you show me is defeat And all you have left are reasons Why I won't stick around When all I know is this one time I'm taking and not leaving. You're tight up tight, can't come undone You left to late to turn and run Take it or leave it. Take it or leave it. You can't keep this love set on silent Sooner or later someone will find it. Take it or leave it.

You wasted time, wasted years out of your life Wasted highs, only say the darkness of the ride. You wasted heat, sat on the cold side of the fire, Waste-wasted need, getting things you only desired. And while you're thinking on all that, think about... Wasted, all the times you talked to me, wasted. In between the make-believe and the (wasted) Empty space of your nights along, I think I though you would have known, Babe, not when you're wasted. You wasted sleep, watching nightmares on your eyelids, You wasted me, you lost your heart, I was trying to find it. I wasted time picking you up when you'd trip and fall I wasted time, I wa

I know I've got my own style, I don't know what it is. They say I have a nice smile, I don't know where it's hid. You know I'd walk all these miles if you'd only let me in, I'm full of changes. I'm full of changes. I want to show you a photograph of the years that pased I want to show you a timeless laugh that will always last You know you don't know the half of the things that you have Sometimes life's amazing, Sometimes life is amazing. I want to go to a continent that I don't know. If you don't pack your common sense then we're ready to go. If you won't learn to dance then at least enjoy the show, Only you know what makes you, w

Hey Alison, you've grown taller Though I know things aren't always the way they seem. Hey Alison, it's been a while since I've been here Tell me what have I done with these years in between? I didn't recognize you as you are now The person I knew but older, wizer With a few more holes of pride to show Is the Old Alison still inside there? Don't get lost. I know I know there's still a fight But you have to keep fighting on. Don't get lost. You have to show strength in the face of, Strength in the face of the war. When the battle's lost, don't lose yourself. Hey Alison. I know I didn't call you When I said I would, I know there's

Beautiful as a last resort But bravery's no substitute for love. One lie needs company and we all get hurt. We play out scenes from movies Dark-glassed reflections, rear-view mirrors. We'll bounce around until our bubble is burst. Bravery is fine But where's your backup plan? When the walls come down and the roof's on fire, Where is bravery then? We dance in the right circles But bravery is no substiture for love. We dance until we forget what standing still is. I'm silently slipping out of focus, My feet forget the motions to make I'm reaching out but I can't seem to feel this. Bravery is fine But where is your backup plan?
